‘The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know from the gospel is love and always love. Love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us’

Erika Kirk, the widow of Christian martyr Charlie Kirk, delivered a tearful, powerful message Sunday for the assassin who executed her husband, expressing her personal forgiveness.
“My husband Charlie, he wanted to save young men. Just like the one who took his life,” Mrs. Kirk said through tears at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
“That young man. That young man. On the cross our Savior said, ‘Father forgive them for they not know what they do.’ That man, that young man, I forgive him.”
